openURL phone call with Guided Access ON

I have a simple contacts app that is intended to operate in Guided Access / Single App Mode. When the user hits the contact the app initiates a phone call:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:phoneURL];

Super simple and works fine with Guided Access off. I wonder if there is any way to make the phone call happen while guided access is on? I'm sure its likely a feature of guided access to not allow outgoing phone calls.

How do I allow guided access calls?

To set up Guided Access, open Settings and select Accessibility, followed by Guided Access. The subsequent screen will let you turn the feature On or Off, and set whether you want to use a PIN code, Touch ID, or Face ID to unlock the mode.

Will guided access turn off if phone dies?

Guided access should be on all the time. If the device runs out of battery or is shut down completely then guided access will need to be put back on.

Then go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Guided Access and change the passcode.

Guided Access keeps the iPhone in a single app, and allows you to control which features are available. ...

From Guided Access's description I'm sure there is no normal way(maybe it's possible for jail-break iPhone, I'm not sure) to make phone call. Because phone call happens in another app. Apple will definitely forbid this.
